Abstract

Changes in gender and intergenerational relations give rise to social and family situations that require
educational actions on health and sexuality in schools. This study promoted the collective construction of such actions
aimed at the LGBTTI population, using participatory methodologies. We held meetings with pedagogical teams from the
Department of Education of Mariana (Minas Gerais) and a high school to plan strategies, and organized workshops to
bring monitors and students together. These actions established coexistence agreements, valuing affection and self-esteem
and sharing information on topics such as: sexuality, gender roles, concepts of biological sex, sexual orientation, gender
identity and prejudice. Sexual and gender diversity proved to be relevant topics at school, an environment that triggers
changes regarding issues that are often unknown or neglected, but which directly affect people’s lives.
